Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Ramada Inn (Live at Farm Aid 2012) 

When my pops returned from Vietnam for the second and last time, he had a shoebox full of tapes and in that box was Everybody Knows This is Nowhere. I fell in love with the music of Neil Young at that time, never thinking about how cool my dad was to have a Neil Young tape that he listened to in Nam. Very cool and beyond meaningful. That was late 1969. I have been enjoying Neil for 52 years now. When I see him in a vid with that black Les Paul with the Bigsby tail piece, I settle in for a great vid and a great song. When I am sad, which is too often these days, I put Neil on the stereo as loud as the neighbors can stand it and disappear into happiness. Long live Neil...and long live the most excellent backing band in rock history...Crazy Horse!

The song is so mesmerizing, you have to take a step back and realize just how great this song is!

I was there, completely amazing performance. The whole set was mesmerizing. Neil's guitar just echoed around the stadium, it was gorgeous.

Here's the intense force of the Horse, can you hear it? Long live Crazy Horse.

we are used to "admire" those songs considered the best of all times. They're usually old songs. The first time I listened this song, the firt thought I had was that was very lucky to live in a time when a one of the best songs ever ritten comes to you, in your time, something that is gonna be remembered forever. Thank you Neil

I will never feel thankful enough to Neil...

I saw this show. Absolutely unbelievable the power of the guitars and the sound. I couldn't believe nothing blew up! Saw it in Calgary. Los Lobos warmed up. Never will forget that night!

Man, to hear Neil soloing live using old black on an expansive open song like that. Couldn’t even imagine

I am always gratified to read about how so many listeners describe their intense feelings and personal memories of Neil. I see myself in all of them. We are all so lucky, aren’t we, to have so much of our souls wrapped up inside Neil’s endless horizon. How does he do it? Still, after decades, he remains in his output mode, ever-creating, ever-performing. There is nothing to do, but watch Ol’ Black rock back and forth, swing up and down, and behold in gratitude creation taking shape through the filter of Neil Young. This is certainly my own corner of heaven on earth . . . yet look . . . there are tens of thousands of you here with me. Keep on keeping on Neil!!!! For further listening pleasure, check out Neil's "No Hidden Path."

Brilliant. Can listen to Neil for hours. Psychedelic Pill is an amazing compilation....Ramada Inn, Walk like a Giant, She’s Always Dancing etc. are unique creations.

this may be my fav neil song ever. ive listened to it so many times. i know there are many to choose from. many "classics" but i cant remember feeling this way about another song. it takes me to another place. thanks for everything. NY forever!

So many years now together All those good times, ups and downs So many joys raising up those kids They've moved on now out of town So many times she tried So many times she cried And every morning comes the sun And it goes rising to the day Holding onto what they've done She loves him so She loves him so She loves him so She does what she has to She loves him so She loves him so She loves him so She does what she needs to In a Ramada Inn, near the grapevine They stop to rest for the night, Traveling down south looking for good times Visiting old friends feels right People they haven't seen in forever Since high school, San Jose times The restaurant food and the bottle Had a few drinks And now they're feeling fine And every morning comes the sun And it goes rising to the day Holding on to what they've done He loves her so He loves her so He loves her so He does what he has to He loves her so He loves her so He loves her so He does what he needs to Seem like lately things are changing Seems like lately things are going south A few drinks now and she hardly knows him He just looks way and shuts out And when she says it's time to do something Maybe talk to his old friends who gave it up He just pours himself another tall one Closes his eyes and says that's enough Every morning comes the sun And it goes rising to the day Holding on to what they've done She loves him so She loves him so She loves him so She does what she has to He loves her so He loves her so He loves her so He does what he needs to Seem like lately things are changing Seems like lately things are going south A few drinks now and she hardly knows him He just looks way and shuts out When she says it's time to do something They would talk to his old friends who gave it up He just pours himself another tall one Closes his eyes and says that's enough And every morning comes the sun And it goes rising to the day Holding onto what they've done She loves him so She loves him so She loves him so She does what she has to He loves her so He loves her so He loves her so He does what he needs to And every morning comes the sun And it goes rising to the day Holding onto what they've done He loves her so He loves her so He loves her so He does what he needs to She loves him so She loves him so She loves him so She does what she has to

My oldest son is named Neil .... after Neil Young .... 39 years of marriage!

One of his latter-day masterpieces!

Godfather of Grunge, thank you Neil for all the music.

sheer brilliance, this should be taught in every music school on how to construct a score

16 minutes of turnaround heaven

Only guitar player that can seamlessly go from lead to rhythm and back again

I am so into Neil Young I have over 30 of his cds. My greatest hero. The most radical guitarists I ever seen in my 68 year life B. Wright 1060

Saw him twice on the Psychedelic Pill tour. Hamburg and Berlin. His music filled my life from the very beginning. The only musician I missed at my venue. :)

Simply one of the greatest songs, lyrics and guitar work of all time.

I was at the Birmingham LG Arena for this show in 2013 (I think, I'm getting old). They were incredible, played for about three hours with new stuff and classic Young/Crazy Horse stuff. Second best gig ever (first being Screaming Trees at Bristol Bierkeller in 1996!)

Plays like a Giant Neil's music will never die Love him so!

I’ll always appreciate this songs beauty with a smile and a tear for the words not spoken. I like this version , no I like them both I’ve only seen 2 versions.

This is a gorgeous song.

A maestro’s musical masterpieces They live forever in our hearts As seeds ready to grow a new in ourself and in others. Long live crazy horse. Destroyers of darkness Revealers of light 🔥♥️🎼

Guitar intro, three guitar solos - all unique. One of the best pieces of guitar work. I've listened to the guitar on this song so many times and it sounds fresh every time, it's so rich and deep.

Jus the pleasure to hear Neil and his Crazy Horse playing together... :o)

Great words

gute Musiker brauchen keine große Show und Blitzlichtgewitter - klasse - geniale Musik

I saw this live in Albuquerque before Psychedelic Pill came out, first concert of tour. Americana was just out so that is what we expected. Then he came out with all this!! Thank You, Neil!

Neil just took me on a trip!!

Hello Neil thank you for all the good music cheers

You get the feeling, especially after looking at all their faces and how they’re all singing along with each other, that this song means very much to them. After all of their decades playing together, it seems as if they’re summarizing their lives together in this masterpiece. Nostalgia, memories, love, heartbreak, challenges, joys. Just beautiful.

and every morning comes the sun....wow

Amazing the guy still writes such brilliant songs now and again. He could have put this out in 1975 and the whole tune would have gotten played on the air. Changing roles of the characters, He loves her so and She loves him so and what they do as a result is really something Neil and Dylan might write and do it well.........As for the guitar, he's a monster on this number and a couple others on the album.......Nice!!!! I dig the Tablet teleprompters, he's taken a tip from Sinatra there.........

Crazy Horse music is almost like a volcano it slowly erupts around you beautiful

HONESTLEY...... A GREAT PIECE OF ART. Over and out!

Neil is one of the greats, awesome band 👍🏽

Neil is truly great !

So simple yet so genius.. Absolutely brilliant musical composition and lyrics!

Thanks for posting this...Neil is a true great talent.. He is also a caring,cool,down to earth nice guy that supports worthy causes such as bringing more care, respect,appreciation,healing and protection for our amazing beautiful but now much polluted and hurting planet earth and endangered lands,waters,soils and wildlife...keep on doing all the good that you do..thanks

beautiful song, I love it!

Ein Meisterwerk von Superstar Neil Young ✌️✌️... Amazing...was für Gitarrenriffs...er ist und bleibt Live... eine Ikone... unsterblich...💖 Tschüss Taylor Swift & Billie Eilish ...Go Home 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

I LOVE THIS JAM! BEAUTIFUL SONG! Thank You, Neil!

God bless the horse!! Truth honesty passion

Un Neil très concentré et inspiré sur cette longue chevauchée électrique, typique de son style country rock échevelé. Du grand art !

Out of this world

Thanks for sharing that awesome video. Neil is such a breathe of fresh air a master song-writer and guitar player. His music penetrates the soul. This is another great performance with Crazy Horse, he always seems to empty the tank when he performs.

Thanks for the Post.. It don't get any better than Neil and Crazy Horse.

" ...in a Ramada inn near the Grapevine.. " - Neil Young

Just amazing.

I have tickets to 2 Neil Young and Crazy Horse shows back to back summer nights in a forested GA venue in Vancouver. I can't wait. I don't even care what he plays, as long as it's the guitar. That sound.

the new album is so great, I hear it every day

How could I missed this album and fantastic song for such a long time !?

Neil Young...grazie!

Was so amazing seeing this from the front section! Best concert ever

Brilliant!!!!

Amazing song and amazing album. Proof that there's no need to be extremely skilled (as in fast, technically perfect, etc.) as a guitar player to construct guitar melodies and guitar solos that really touch your soul and will be remembered forever.

let me tell blind people, it's as good as it sounds.

Thank you so much for putting this up here.

young , grand frère , ami de toujours , longue vie a toi et a tes créations !

Ideal que Grandes músicos como Neil se unan por causas de este tipo...

14.44 mn de ZIK "no limit" alors en boucle eternel du NEIL comme je l'ai decouvert en 1975 un GEANT CHANTEUR MUSICAL INEGALABLE THANKS NEIL

The Crypt Keeper is sounding funky. Can't wait to see them at the o2 in august!

No more, no less. The best there is. God bless his Great White Northern butt.

Sweeeet!.

It's almost unfair to include 3 Neil Young songs in my all-time top 10!

brilliant

I was gonna ask what the song was about....however...the answer lyes beneath.❤Sad.

No te termines nunca Chaman!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Horse.....

No te mueras nunca chaman !!!

Otherworldly...

I firmly believe that Ramada Inn is on par with powderfinger or hey hey my my in terms of Neil cannon

This is a great jam tune, the Austin City Limits version is the killer version for me though

NEIL NEIL NEIL NEIL

I want Billy's bass!

He/She does what He/She has/needs to -> What's the meaning behind this? What is it what he/she has/needs to do?

💎

I wonder what the odometer reading is on that there guitar.

I love Neil but psychedelic pill was so much better than the few albums that came before or after it. Like younger Neil wrote it.

I feel sorry for all the kids listening to Justin Beaver right now.

I've always thought that there's a point in his playing where old black plays Neil young

Ya know where Eddie the Artist isss...paralyzed ... Yea... American Vietnam Vet Hero... Alone in Hospital... 2 am I went to see him..."fell" out of BED...David has yet to go see him...I am The Only Visitor to My Knowledge! horrific details upon face to Face

At $8K+ an acre for decent farm land, most farm owners are millionaires.

Salut mon choualvert

this, cortez,running dry.big time,bandit how do you pick a top5

You're out your mind dude. Seriously?

Led zepplen

No wonder that the band were uninspired and bored. I used to wait for his next record from 1989 to 1995, but then i lost interest, of obvious reasons.
